1st Round Sector Defense Sector:Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Sudan CHF 2012 1st Round Sector Defense Sector:Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Jan 18th , 2012

CHF Sector Priorities: Sustain life-saving WASH services for vulnerable among the IDPs (New and existing), returnees and affected people Expand life-saving WASH services for vulnerable among the IDPs (New and existing), returnees and affected people.

CHF Geographical priorities: Darfur states (Chronic emergency) and Three Protocol Areas (New Conflict) Eastern States, White Nile, Sinnar, Khartoum and North Kordofan – Returnees, Flood, drought and disease outbreak areas River Nile, Gezeira and Northern States Flood, drought and disease outbreak areas

Describe the sector strategy for addressing the priorities Chronic Emergency Continue supporting sustained access to WASH services in critical IDP locations Emphasis on sustainability of WASH services - possible handover of O&M to communities Create conducive environment for IDPs on returning or resettlement New Conflict in Protocol areas/ Returnees Ensure minimum requirement of WASH services in high influx locations Support for increased capacity to deal with WASH related conflict emergency Drought/Flood Maintain emergency prepared and response at National/Area levels Capacity development and Coordination: Support for increased capacity for addressing emergencies especially emergency preparedness and response Strengthen coordination, collaboration and monitoring among partners for addressing gaps and duplications and maintaining established WASH policy and standards.

Why is CHF funding critical right now to meet these sector priorities? Immediate life-saving response necessary for IDPs from New conflict in Blue Nile and South Kordofan as well as need for returnees WASH essential interventions should be done before the rainy season (June) to avoid difficulties in access. Support for new IDPs and O&M in established IDP locations in Darfur crucial in the next 6 months as overall funding has substantially reduced for 2012. Due to early preparedness and response, no AWD cases have been reported since 2009, which used to be a major concern in the previous years (in 2006 more than 7,400 cases with 273 deaths reported whereas, 2,299 and 335 cases respectively were reported in 2007 and 2008 with 111 and 16 deaths respectively) Sector coordination in Khartoum and field level has become crucial whereas allocation for coordination staff reduced. Without CHF funding required coordination personnel could not be maintained and coordination among 47 partners will be hampered, which is key for addressing critical gaps. While funding for WASH sector decreased substantially since South Sudan separation emergency needs substantially increased due to new conflict in Blue Nile and South Kordofan as well as need for returnees, which are very crucial for survival of affected population Considering very high number of sector partners involved in WASH sector humanitarian support, sector coordination in Khartoum and field level has become crucial whereas allocation for coordination staff reduced. Without CHF funding required coordination personnel could not be maintained and coordination among 47 partners will be hampered, which is key for addressing critical gaps.

How were value for money and low indirect costs ensured? A through line-by-line review of the proposed project sheets was conducted by TRG such as: In line with WASH sector policy and standards, direct and indirect cost comparison as much as possible Timely delivery of services Even though overall rating was lower for some submission, project sheets were considered from among the best for areas where available partners were limited or representation was low. Partner capacity based on past performance to provide high value for money was taken into consideration while making recommendations Gaps and duplications were avoided

Average Annual Allocation Amount: US $ 8.4 millions Summary of TRG-endorsed proposals Total Recommended Sector Envelope versus historical trend or basis for envelope The planning envelope: US $ 8,000,000 Average Annual Allocation Amount: US $ 8.4 millions

Approach to determining project allocation amounts Using agreed upon criteria all 44 projects sheets were reviewed by TRG and scored A minimum amount of USD 200,000 was set for each of the recommended projects for efficiency and effectiveness. The remaining amount from $8 million was allocated by adding 10% of the HWP amount to $200,000 and the figures were then rounded up. USD 523,000 was deducted from UNICEF allocation as sector lead to achieve a net allocation of $8 million. Inclusion of National NGOs and Area priority were considered Three additional National NGOs with highest score were further considered. Two projects submitted by IOM and ADRA for returnees included

A figure of $8 Million was assumed as the WASH envelope in the allocations made by the TRG. If any possibility of higher envelope, the TRG suggests to include additional proposals (project sheets) as per the ranking established. Thank you
